formatting directory listing...

Spud_Nic

Ive tried many things, but can't seem to do what I want!
I have a page which outputs the directory listing, which is working fine, but I can't get the php to do the following:

write a html table, 5 cells wide, but infinite in height. and insert the names of the folders into the table in the 5-cell-wide format.

I've tried for, while loops, amongst other things, but nothing is working :-s

part of the code I have at the moment is below.

any ideas?

thanks in advance, here's the code I'm using:

$FolderTracker = 0;
$dh = opendir(".");
while ($file = readdir($dh)) {
if (is_dir ($file)) {
$FolderTracker++;

}

print ("<tr><td>");
print (" ");
print ("Folders in the directory ($FolderTracker) <img src=\"iconsx/fade.jpg\"></td></tr>\n");
print ("<tr>\n");
print ("<td>\n");

if ($FolderTracker < 1) {
print ("<img src=\"iconsx/nofolders.gif\" align=\"middle\"> There are no folders in this directory \n");
} else {
print ("<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n");
print ("<tr>\n");

$dh = opendir(".");
while ($file = readdir($dh)) {
if (is_dir ($file)) {
$folderpic = "<a href=\"$file\"><img src=\"iconsx/folder.gif\" border=\"0\"></a>";
$MatchPattern = "([.])";
$DetectIconsFolder = "iconsx";
$file = "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a>";
if (eregi($MatchPattern, $file)) {
} else {
if (eregi($DetectIconsFolder, $file)) {
} else {
print ("<td align=\"center\">\n");
print ("$folderpic    $file    \n");
print ("</td>\n");
}
}

}

closedir($dh);
print ("</tr>\n");
print ("</table>\n");
}
print ("</td></tr>\n");

Well...this works on mine. No clue about your setup though. Give it a shot. Not so much for looks, but the columns break at five. You can set that on $limit

<?
$FolderTracker = 0; 
$dh = opendir("."); 
while($file=readdir($dh)) { 
   if(is_dir($file)) { 
      $FolderTracker++; 
   } 
}
echo "
<html>
<head>
<title>Folder Tracker</title>
<style>
div.red {
   font: 11px arial;
   color: #0000FF;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>";

$top=0;
$limit=5;

if($FolderTracker>5) {
   $colspan=$limit;
}
else {
   $colspan=$FolderTracker;
}

if($FolderTracker == 0) { 
   echo "<div class=\"red\">There are no folders in this directory</div><br>\n";
}
else {
   echo "<table border=\"1\">
           <tr>
             <td colspan=\"".$colspan."\"><b>Folders in the directory (".$FolderTracker.")</b></td> 
           </tr>";

   $dh = opendir(".");

   while($file = readdir($dh)) { 
      if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
         if(is_dir($file)) {
            $top++;
            if($top == $limit) {
               $limit += $limit;
               echo "</tr>
                     <tr>";
            }
            echo "<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"".$file."\">".$file."</a></td>";
         }
      }
   }
}
?>
